Her dad has chaotic salesman energy and her mom is dead. But from the outside, Bunny seems to have it all⁠--she's blonde, rich, and an Olympic volleyball hopeful. Michael⁠⁠--who has a ponytail and a septum piercing, works at Rite-Aid, and has a secret Grindr⁠--lives with his aunt in the cramped cottage next door to Bunny's McMansion. When Bunny catches Michael smoking in her yard, he discovers that her life is not as perfect as it seems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir friendship is as improbable as it is irresistible, but when Michael falls in love for the first time, a vicious strain of gossip circulates and a terrible, brutal act becomes the defining feature of both his and Bunny's futures⁠⁠. A beautiful and darkly comic book about doing things you didn't mean to do, wanting things you wish you didn't want, and loving people you can't afford to love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rufi Thorpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525567291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525567295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e PEN\/Faulkner Award - Finalist","brand":"Rufi Thorpe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050802016511,"sku":"9780525567295","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bfa59fa-f9e6-419e-a383-5e5254009865.jpg?v=1685009331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-knockout-queen-rufi-thorpe-9780525567295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
